About projects
In 2021, the Serik Tolbassy Foundation launched one of the largest social projects in the field of infrastructure and healthy living by allocating 100 million tenge to build over 110 modern sports grounds in the city of Shymkent.
This project was a significant contribution to fostering an active, healthy, and conscious generation of youth in Kazakhstan. It aimed not only to promote physical culture but also to strengthen social bonds and create an urban environment where sport is accessible to everyone.
“Our goal is to create conditions where sport and movement are not an obligation, but a way of life. We believe that sports grounds are not just about physical development but also about building confidence, discipline, and team spirit in children and adolescents,”
said a representative of the Foundation.
Each ground was designed as a multifunctional sports space, including:
Mini stadiums for football, basketball, volleyball, and handball;
Workout zones with outdoor fitness equipment and strength training areas;
Playgrounds for younger children.
The sites were built in accordance with safety and modern standards — featuring soft surfaces, fencing, lighting, and inclusive environments for all age groups. Special attention was given to location — these grounds were built in densely populated neighborhoods where access to sports infrastructure was previously limited.
“We’re here every evening! Before, kids stayed indoors — now the playground is full of life: playing, training, socializing,”
says Aigul, a local resident and mother of two schoolchildren.
The project received high praise from both the public and local authorities.
Since their opening, the sports grounds have become not only centers of activity for children and youth but also gathering places for entire communities — hosting tournaments, open training sessions, sports workshops, and family celebrations.
The Serik Tolbassy Foundation considers the development of sports infrastructure a strategic priority in its charitable work. Its initiatives aim to make sport accessible, engaging, and a natural part of everyday life for all Kazakhstanis, regardless of age or social background.
The playgrounds are a multifunctional sports area, including a stadium where you can play volleyball, basketball, mini-football, handball, workout areas for strength sports and play areas.
Children and youth of the city got the opportunity to play sports in modern, comfortable and safe conditions.
